DANIEL HUSSEY, OF NASHUA, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

IMPROVEMENT IN FLIERS FOR. SPINNING-MACHINES.

Specitieation forming part of Letters Patentl No. -110,] 69, dated October 6, 1863.

To @Z6 whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DANIEL HUssEY, a resi dent of Nashua, in the connty of Hillsborough and State of New Hampshire, have invented an Improved BobbinfFlier; and I do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure l is a side view ofthe said flier; F g. 2, a vertical section otl it and its bobbin as filled with yarn. Fig. 3 is a top view, and Fig. 4 a bottom view, of such flier. Fig. 5 is a side View, and Fig. 6 a bottom view, of a flier of the ordinary form or construction.

In the last two figures referred to the flier is shown as composed of a neck, a', and base '1), united by two legs, c c,the said base b being a perforated plate or piece of metal separate from the legs, and having their lower ends passed through and riveted. to it. Besides this each leg has but one i'lexure or bend, as shown at d.

In myimproved flier,as represented in Figs. l, 2, 3, and 4, each leg has four exures o1' bends, efg h,in that part of it which extends from the eye B to the i'oot or base part C, the portion ef, fg, or g h between each two next adjacent leXures being straight, or substantially so, as shown in the drawings. Informing the base part C, which receives the head of the whirl, the two legs are bent in the shape shown in Fig. 4, are lapped on one another, and soldered or otherwise suitably connected together where they are in contactviz., at i rlhe bend of the dier-leg between the connections z' 'L' is to be such as to form the proper opening, 7c, for the reception of and titting to the prism-atie head of the driving-whirl, whether such head be square or otherwise shaped in its horizontal section. By this construction of the iiier a separate base or loot piece, such as shown at b in Figs. 5 and 6, becomes unnecessary, and the flier is rendered very much stronger or less liable to break, particul .rly at the connection of the leg and base.

The two .parallel portions j' g of the legs, by reason ot' being shorter than the parallel portions of' the legs of the common dier, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, do not spring outward so much as the latter While under the action of centrifugal force generated by the rapid revolutions of the flier while in use.

The improved ilier in question is intended for a double-coned bobbin to have roving formed thereon in manner as described in the United States Patent No. 36.782, granted-to vnie on the 28th day ot' October, A. D. 1862.

I claim- My improved ier made substantially as described-viz., with the ilexures e j' g IL in each leg, or with the same, and having the legs lapped, formed, and connected at the base substantially as specitled.

DANIEL HUSSEY.
